One fine day, Darius Sasnauskas saw two baby deer born in the back garden near Yellowstone National Park, USA. Unfortunately, one was injured in the leg and could not keep up with their mother. Darius decided to bring it home because "there are so many predators around, it has no chance of surviving alone."
"I am not advocating keeping wild animals indoors as pets, but this is a special situation," he wrote on Bored Panda on October 25th.
After facing many difficulties, the baby deer became healthy again. Darius decided to release it back into the wild. However, the baby deer, perhaps too attached to Darius, refused to go and kept running after him.
It took several attempts to release the deer, as the deer ran after Darius, but he finally succeeded when the deer reunited with its family.
The story has touched the online community, with many people saying they cried while watching the video, especially the part where the deer kept running after Darius every time he let it go. One person named Vedra Kex wrote: "This is the cutest story I've come across on the Internet... So cute!"
Many others called Darius "a really nice guy" and "the best adoptive father". Lu Cija wrote, "I hope the baby deer will be healthy and happy with its family."
